Mahavir Jayanti 2017 was a great success for the Jain Center of Minnesota! We held a great culture program in which both children and adults displayed their talents and interpretation of Jainism.
We had acts ranging from drama skits to two Jain stavans played on the piano, violin, and even the trumpet! We also had our Youth Committee give a presentation on various important quotes Lord Mahavir said throughout his lifetime and how they apply them throughout their daily lives.
Overall, Mahavir Jayanti2017 with the Jain Center of Minnesota turned out to be a great place to discuss our Jain religion while having fun at the same time!
